Every town needs a sheriff, every airport needs a control tower, and every busy studio needs someone like Kris van Witsen. With his talent for seeing the big picture, Kris deftly managed the daily productivity of our 20-person creative team, coordinated deliverables for two dozen stakeholders worldwide, and managed his own team of print production specialists. Kris organized several hundred projects for print, web, and email, which brought considerable financial return and many awards – including a Webby. For making these successes possible, the teams at Veer and Corbis owe him many thanks.
Kris is an excellent problem-solver and strategist who demonstrates exceptional ability in researching and constructing project timelines, and assembling strong and appropriate teams. He is a very clear and direct communicator who cares about getting the proper balance between time to execute and capacity to do so. He researches and recommends tools and tactics that have always helped to make our process a stronger and more fluid experience.
